See what I mean? In this image I don't look nearly as big as in the other.

This is an 'Extreme Cleavage' bra by Fredericks in 36F with the push-up pads removed. Not a very good fitting bra because it is very rigid and won't conform to my implants. Doesn't really fit well anyway. I'm still wearing my same sports bras from before; they just stretch out a bit more.

I have the same bra and I cut the wires out of it. It fits better on the sides and underneath since my boobs are wide.

Absolutely right. Old and bad habits on my part.

Still pretty darn big but honestly, after seeing those two photos the idea of that many cc is not as scary. I don't know what I was expecting. I think what you'd said about the numbers sounding scarier than it is was spot on. You do carry it well.

I couldn't do it personally, one because of my posture but mostly because I have lousy skin which has no tolerance for stretching. grrrrr! (I got a lot of stretch marks from a massive hematoma. 750ml drained from that one, plus the 380 implant so at one point I had 1130cc in there... and boy did my skin ever protest LOL)

Know what I also noticed in the photo? An iMac! (I am such a dork!)

Hee hee. Yes, iMac in one image, and Arnica Montana in the other image.

I've said throughout this thread - people get soooo hung up on numbers. Forget the 'number' and just concentrate on the look you want!

Sorry to hear of your challenges. Be strong girl!

Who is the DR? I have been looking for someone to do larger implants nearish to Palm Beach County...
Thanks!

Given the shear volume he does/did, a problem such as you'd found seemed inevitable.

I'm delighted with the doctor who did my current breast augmentation, here in South Florida.


thanks,

thanks,

I'm glad your happy with the results.. you look really good!! and hope your recovery goes well!!

thank you for posting those pickieys. im fairly intrested in going larger than i am but im very concerned about visable veins do you mind me asking if you had them pre breast augmentation or have they happened since.

mine are not very visible now and im not sure if larger implants would make them so or if its a case of no real change

I too have this concern as I want to go larger. I don't see any veins at this point although my implants are only a couple weeks in, and only 775cc's. Do the veins come up later? Also what about stretch marks?

thanks for sharing the pics cara. im sorry you didnt get to go as big as you wanted but if it makes ya feel better those are massive lol not in a bad way!

It's how I got to this size, several years back.

I guess having the size increased over time would make it easier to adapt to your new boobs and I can see how you could get the boobie greed that way!
If I had to wake up with implants that size I think I would faint, but having them increased over time I think could become very addictive.

I'd love to see pics if you find somewhere to put them up!

Righty wanted to go Go GO - I was up to 1600cc's easy, but Leftie with the remnants of the capsule kept me down.

So here I am, now. Admit that this shirt/pose makes me look biggest. Again, 3 weeks post-op here and still pretty high up though swelling went down. Hope to re-do within a year to 2000cc's.

peace,

Glad your recovery is going well!

[bikini4me]

You look great! You'll have to post another one once the swelling goes down, I bet you'll look even more amazing.

Had another redo last Friday. I had pain in my right breast - actually the connecting tissue around back. We went with expanders this time. In surgery, he found out that the implant had actually turned around!! He said he'd never seen an implant that large do that before. So that along with some scar tissue is what caused the pain.

This time we went with expanders, and going in I told him to shoot for at-least 1500cc's. He gave me 1450/1460, and I was soooo tight. I felt like I couldn't breathe!! Very weird - never had this before. 4 days later, we took out 150cc's and now I feel great. These are higher profile and I like them. Going to give it a month, then try to get B-I-G - I want 1800 to 1900cc's.

No pix so don't ask. It's the 6th day out and I'm just happy to finally be feeling good about my boobs with no pain nor issues.

ta ta!

Hi Cara!
Holy cow they are big!!! And getting bigger. Hope you have a successful recovery!

[BBrigit]

Good to see you back here, Cara. We've had a few newbies asking about large implants, and I think you're a good resource for them.....if they notice you back, you'll probably start getting tons of questions!

Congrats on another successful surgery and step along your path to boobie heaven!

[Alaria]

Congrats!!! Hope your recovery is smoother now with the redo.

[jellybean]

Good to see you back, hope that your recovery is going well.

[Devorzhum]

It would be nice if you could get this all done in one surgery! Expanders seems like a lot of extra hassle and as someone said the risk of infection is there.

It would be great if you could start a yahoo group or something, I'd love to see how you look with what you have now. I think you said, but I'll have to look at what you started out as.



---Holy crap, I totally misread and didn't see there were 10 pages! I hope you have a pleasant and easy recovery!

[bcullen]

have a great recovery girl! i hope your doing good!
